What are people doing to get their laptops so hot? Gaming or compiling, yes, but if you're just checking email or something like that, I don't see why a laptop would get warm enough to cause a problem. I have my laptop on my lap right now, and not too warm at all.
I think the minimum requirement is when orbital mechanics starts becoming more influential than aerodynamic lift when managing altitude. Which I think is near ~100km.
I could reply with some clever and ironic counter-point for "+1 funny"s, but sadly my self-referential humor would likely go unnoticed or unappreciated and my karma whoring would end up as being negative.
Desktop Linux? They can't seem to get basic stuff like sound working. Maybe they have recently, but wait a few months and they might break it again:). Same goes for the GUI. They don't have Steven Jobs's Reality Distortion field (or sense of taste) but they still insist on regularly moving stuff around for not good enough reasons.
From my experience (Ubuntu), it's the default settings that usually change with upgrades. I have my personal settings stay the same.

Like, did the gp even say "copyright"? And even if (s)he did, does matter given the context of the article and his/her post?
This is the way I understand it (probably wrong): because of quantum mechanix hocus pocus, any point in space-time does not have zero-energy. Also, that energy state isn't perfectly stable, so occasionally it causes virtual particles to appear. Those particles are complementary matter / anti-matter particles, and under normal conditions, they quickly annihilate each other after their birth. However, very very close the event horizon, some unfortunate particle is sucked it while their siblings have the right velocity and distance away from the black hole that they run away. Remember that there's conservation of energy/mass (mass and energy can convert into each other, but you can't actually destroy or create them). So because of that conservation, and since the black hole is emitting radiation, the black hole is losing mass/energy.
I *guess* (see:not researched) that because space-time really doesn't like very low energy states that it somehow sucks energy from surroundings, ie slowly pumping energy to the event horizon from a little bit inside, and that concentric zone dips in energy and sucks some more from the space inside that, etc until you get to the singularity. But that seems to contradict the whole "point-of-no-return", so I really don't know how it works.
I was going to point out that it relies on the assumption that it cleans 20% of any given article. I would say it cleans 20% of an average article, and once an arbitrary article is cleaned, you are now given that it isn't average, ie that 20% figure no longer applies. Don't know what it is, but I suspect reapplying would immediately or quickly converge to 0%. Especially machine learning approaches, I guess they would (eventually) get to the point of covering everything they can in the initial pass.
But it's a helluva a lot more important for a power company to stay up than FB, no power can cause serious problems. But FB down for two hours, man, the gods forbid you actually are productive or something . . .

And my genes won't get into the gene pool anyway.
It's a small "ping" sound, with a slight echo.
. . . does it have a planet with living beings running astronomical computer simulations?

So I won't say anything at all.
Oh . . . dammit.
Prob'ly in COBOL though. Not too much to worry about.

Re fighter jets: I *think* you can buy them, but you can't fly them.

Potholes are part of the fun. What challenge would it be if you didn't have to dodge them?
. . . . or planning to develop for something outside of MS Windows.
Sorry, but the make_me_a_sandwhich method is private. Children don't inherit that behavior.

At least it would help with motivation.
Welcome to technological progression.
Huh? Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of all these roaring latent packets.
Yes, my sig is satirical. ;)
But I rarely do use mod points. They're reserved for really good posts.
Let me get this straight . . .

Black holes are fucking weird.
BTW, on a more serious note: a quick google search of "hawking radiation disproved" doesn't seem to come up with much serious material.
pics or it didn't happen

Then stop buying Dells. :P
Then stopping friending judges.
